Controller support for third party launchers (pop os)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Dezember 2025 - 19:42

I know Linux has this “plug and play” controller support but the only thing that seems to work for me right now is the mouse for example on heroic I have COD ghosts downloaded (which supports controller) but whenever I connect my ps5 controller to my pc via usb and try to use it in the game nothing but the mouse input works I’m not sure if it’s because heroic doesn’t have a controller layout in the app but either way it’s just not working or if it’s because the game defaults to Xbox layouts (doubt that would change anything) I tried downloading ds4 windows and run the exe through heroic but that didn’t work I couldn’t get it to boot can anyone help?

How to?: Games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Dezember 2025 - 19:18

Hey everyone, I’ve just started using Mint (been about a day), and I’m really struggling to get my usual games running properly. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Games I’m trying to run: - Assetto Corsa
- BeamNG
- SurrounDead
- Euro Truck 2 - Dispatch - Fever Meme

What I’ve tried so far:

Steam + Proton (Enabled in compatibility settings): - BeamNG only works when I launch the Vulkan version — the standard one won’t run. - Assetto Corsa just does nothing when I hit play. No crash, no error, just... nothing.

Heroic Launcher: - Switched to Heroic to see if it would help, but: - Assetto Corsa still doesn’t launch.
- Fever Meme loads menus and subtitles, but the actual game screen is black. (With sound) - Dispatch "does" work with no extra tweaks. Although runs slightly worse than on windows

Appreciate any help —

I want to switch and get away from windows

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Dezember 2025 - 18:00

im over windows. I hate it, the whole hey you switch to windows 11 here’s co-pilot and then every other update that “fixes issues” crashes my pc and i have to sit there and be like mhmm online it says it’s either something to do with my bin folder, a OS issues or my ram is defective. like WOW that really narrows it down thanks windows. Windows 11 in my opinion looks visually pleasing. i like it. i’m probably one of the few people that do. but oh my god DOES IT SUCKKKK. i miss windows 7. i miss visa and i miss XP but its fineeeeeee im just going to abandon windows and switch over.

so, that being said. What steps should i do moving forward and is there a specific “version” of linux i should look at as a gamer. Linux is like learning a new language i feel like and every time ive thought about switching over in the past im like “eh that looks confusing” but im at my limit with windows. id rather learn something new than constantly trouble shoot something owned by a million dollar company lmao

Also. when switching over to linux. will it affect anything i play. (Im a huge league of legends and rainbow 6 siege gamer).

I also don’t know if this is the right place to be posting this so if there’s another form i should be at please correct me im sorry in advance <3

Found an DP->HDMI adapter that does 4k120 4:4:4 HDR reliably AND supports HDMI CEC

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Dezember 2025 - 16:54

UGREEN 8K 60Hz Displayport auf HDMI Adapter, Unidirektional DP auf HDMI 4K@240Hz/2K@240Hz/1080P@480Hz, Kompatibel mit HP, Dell, Projector, Monitor, AMD, GPU, NVIDIA https://amzn.eu/d/7VneOi3

This one works so much better for me (used on a 9060XT eGPU) than the CableMatters adapter.

Reliably delivers 4k120 4:4:4 HDR, even after hibernation, restart and cold boot. And it even dies HDMI-CEC!

Just wanted to share as I've been looking for a reliable adatper for a few months now. Took a chance on it on Black Friday where it was on sale for 9€. Currently 17€.

Linux & Controller Compatibility? -Offbrand Controllers

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Dezember 2025 - 16:12

With this holiday coming up, I want to pull out the Linux rig, which my folks are unfamiliar with.

Emulation, console gaming, the concept of choices you get with pc, they don't get it.

On to the actual meat.

All I've plugged into my PC lately has been steam controllers. Those are nice, but in Christmas Story terms, they're Fragîlé.

I have one Xbox 360 wired (ah, I miss those days) pad I was thinking could be victim.

I have a Hyperkin Xbox One (Duke) controller I haven't tried yet.

But I have a PDP Afterglow controller, Xbox One era (again), that when I plug it in, it's a glowing LED paperweight.

I saw Turtle Beach has a $30 El Cheapo Xbox Series controller, but considering my middling experience, I was hesitant to buy.

Is there a list of compatible controllers or some way to get things going?

I'm running Nobara.

Source Filmmaker & Quicktime 7.6

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Dezember 2025 - 15:26

I tried to install Quicktime 7.6 onto the C:Drive folder for Source Film Maker on Steam, but SFM still doesn't detect it, I feel that right here is correct because this is because this has to do with getting it to work through Proton,
